Strange Question: almost 2 yr db has started talking about poop and potty and tonight she said to me, "mama, you pooped?" Then she began role playing. She had me lie down, she got a diaper, wipes, and she started "wiping" me (over my clothes). Is this normal? I didn't want to make a big deal of it but dh said it's strange and we shouldn't do it anymore. Thoughts? [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

Is this really a question for every single person on the planet? Or did your fear that dd is a complete freakazoid lead to seizures that caused you to uncontrollably select every friggin' board? [ Reply | More

not strange that she wanted to but I'm kind of LOLing at the fact that you actually laid down on the floor for her. [ Reply | More

my 2 yo changes a teddy bear, so why not you? I think it sounds totally normal. But if your dh isnt comfortable with it, maybe you could play a game where all over her stuffed animals poop and you change their diapers. [ Reply | More

The play is normal but doing it on mommy is innapropriate, so gently guide her towards doing this on a doll, not a person. Don't shame her or tell her it's wrong, but don't model compliance in a situation like this. Don't show her that adults are OK with this kind of play. Show her it's OK for kids to do this with a doll. You can even help her set up a play "changing table" or area for her dollies and buy her some newborn diapers to put on them. But don't let her do this on you any more. Without EVER scolding because it is all natural, normal behavior for her age. [ Reply | More

Why? Because I don't lie there and let my 2 year old wipe my vag with a baby wipe? Yeah, you're right. I'm totally uptight. [ Reply | More
